ELECTROCHEMICAL ELEMENT WITH SOLID ELECTROLYTE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: thermal electrochemical converters. SUBSTANCE: electrochemical element with solid electrolyte has ion-conductive solid electrolyte, catalytic electrodes with current taps located on both sides solid electrolyte. One or both electrodes are placed with clearance relative to layer of electrolyte. Surface of mentioned electrode facing electrolyte is made from material exhibiting thermoemission capabilities. Clearance between electrode and electrolyte does not exceed 10 μm, current tap of electrode is perforated to let through reagents. Catalytic electrode can be produced in the form of film positioned on side of cathode. Layer of solid electrolyte is manufactured from material with anion conductance. Anode of element can be manufactured from material which melting point is below working temperature of element. Solid electrolyte is produced in this case from material with cation conductance. Anode can be fabricated from cesium. EFFECT: enhanced operational stability. 4 cl, 3 dwg
